Listed in the World Heritage List, it is considered one of the most well-structured Buddhist monasteries in Gandhara district. It is perched about 500 feet atop a small hill, about 2 kilometers east of the Takht Bhai bazaar in Mardan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), once known as the heart of the Gandhara civilization, which attracts tourists, historians, archaeologists and Buddhists from across the world. The Buddhist complex and the village, as locals say, is named after the two wells found on top of the hill near the complex, however, majority believe that takht means throne and bhai means water in Persian language. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAKISTAN IN 5 MINUTE 2019 lll Drone View https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFTf90bj1EY Sharan Valley, KPK lll An undiscovered tourist spot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFLU1IKmmxE Amazing and sensational Fire works at Minar e Pakistan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45TNCVpTIto&t=9s Tour Of World Largest Airport Turkey-New Istanbul Turkey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUne_z-O_jY
